I have only read The Rodeos 1-3. I have not read anything but that, and can therefore not give any real criticism towards it. Anything I say might not be true to other sides of the story.
Anyway... Rodeos. What to say? The summary doesn't lie, the story brining in a little bit of everything. Personally, I still won't call them outright cursed, but that is clearly not shared between others. The style doesn't lie, and the emotions in it are portrayed very clearly. Love it. When matched with very good grammar, I have next to nothing negative to say about this work. Great stuff, dude.

I've just began reading, but here are my thoughts. It's a little confusing as a reader to have the sudden transition to new characters, worlds, ect. I've enjoyed the first four chapters, an introduction to superheroes. However, I'm more of a 'follow-the-protagonist' kind of person, which makes this story a little hard to read. The idea sounds particularly interesting, but unfortunately, I'm an impatient guy who doesn't like to read continuously changing stories with many different characters. There are no problems in the writing - it's easy to read and there aren't that many grammatical errors. The only slight issue I have is sometimes, the dialogue seems a little bit forced to me (doesn't sound real), but this might just be because I'm in different part of the world that doesn't speak like that. Overall, I enjoyed the beginning, but I'm not sure whether I'll continue reading.

So, a follow up review, now that I'm caught up (Flip #3, at the moment).
The Good: I still like this story, as evident by the fact that I've read 30 or so chapters. I really like the larger world it sets up, which I don't want to spoil for anyone who hasn't read it yet. But I think the larger universe the story takes place in is really well thought out and unique. It's a concept that--while I'm sure has been done somewhere or another--I've never seen executed quite this way, and I really like it.
Some of the criticisms I had before have kinda been mitigated. More recent chapters haven't quite had the clunky word flow and looping narrations that earlier chapters did. The problem isn't COMPLETELY solved, of course, but the improvement has been pretty stark.
The story is good at making me say "Holy shit!" at some turns-of-events, major revelations, or backstory tragedies. Some fleshing out of certain things can be done, of course, but the story often keeps me guessing as to what happens next.
Some of the early villains were great. Iron Lung and the 45th were fantastic villains to read. There are more good villains as the series progresses, those two certainly weren't the last, but I felt them to be the best and most memorable.
I still feel like the unanswered questions--even the ones that haven't been addressed since the very beginning--haven't been forgotten. You can sometimes tell when an author has forgotten their own premise. It's a gut intuition. And it feels--yes, "feels", which I know is subjective--like EnhancedBeing has more answers to the questions that hang over the series, and he's ready to slowly feed them to us as needed. I like that. I like that a lot. Reminds me of One Piece, when answers were fed to us at a snail's pace but the questions were never forgotten, and it never felt like we were being teased or shortchanged.
The Bad: EnhancedBeing is clearly trying to create not just a "comic book" series, but an entire comic book universe with multiple titl
